1. A capela | Bairro Alto
The old atmosphere of this former chapel is written on the walls. This place is narrow with a mini dance floor, which quickly creates a very pleasant atmosphere during the week. The cocktails are not free either.
Only vinyl (sometimes Serato) and when the owner of the bar takes over in a kilt (pictured), the groove is guaranteed! A must for our trips to the Bairro Alto.
Mind you, it fills up quickly at the weekend, but during the week it’s an excellent option.

2. Go A Lisboa | Alcantara
A brand new venue in the capital that has yet to prove itself, but has huge potential.
With an exceptional view of the 25th April Bridge and a determined team, a chill coworking space, several bars, a rooftop, a garden, a restaurant, a miniclub and a good sound engineer, Goa A Lisboa has everything it needs to bring us some great, great times and quickly become a reference in the city.

4. Lodo no Cais | Cais de Sodre
This venue is completely dedicated to electronic music. From mid-week onwards, you’ll have the pleasure of discovering emerging artists as well as more established Lisboan performers. It’s intimate, with room for around a hundred dancers, so the atmosphere gets going quickly, and best of all, the beers are cheap 😉

5. Micro Music Club | alcantara
Recently set up in the Lx Factory ‘mini-quarter’, the MicroMusicClub hosts young groups with a thirst for groove and funk. This breath of youth brings a special energy that delights us dancers. You’ll find it just above Micro Burger & Music.

Entry is generally free
R. Rodrigues de Faria 103, 1300-501 Lisboa
6. Temple Club | art & rave culture (❤️)| Santos
A few years ago, this club was a mythical venue for Lisbon’s after-hours scene, known as Europa Sunrise. Having visited it numerous times, we can attest to the incredible atmosphere of this place. This venue used to be an old convent. The decoration, inspired by its history, presents large statues of praying monks installed behind the DJ booth.
The innovations that mark this new “baptism” primarily concern the schedule, now in a club format every Friday from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. But above all, the new management team is none other than LX MUSIC.
For those unfamiliar, LX MUSIC will celebrate its 20 years of techno events in Lisbon and throughout Portugal. A formidable team with an infinite love for this music. It is also a collective of artists composed of figures we admire, such as the fantastic John-e, Steve Menta, or Glove, also known as Francisco Vieira. Let’s just say you are in the hands of true professionals but also quality ravers!
